After 100 random rec games I can say gold is the WORST for randoms.

Before you ask yes I have played in every plate color besides bronze and black on this account so I had to spend money on my alt account to start at black and move to at least silver. Here’s how I feel about every plate color

Black- self explanatory. Everyone is ass so don’t expect any good hoopers unless you are a sorry sack of shit who does the plate glitch.

Bronze- in here at least the randoms try to win. People here try to make the right skill but don’t really have the mechanical skill to execute efficiently. Bigs really go crazy in the lobbies.

Silver- ironically my second favorite lobbies to play in. Idk in every silver lobby game I play with both teams will be making most of their shots and most of the time I play in these lobbies the games are close.

Gold- By far the ASSEST lobbies I’ve ever had to play in. Everyone has MC syndrome and swears they have to carry the team and throws teamwork in the trash. You either have two options, blow out the other team, get blown out. I honestly question how most of the players in gold even got here when they are either boosted or EOMM agents sent by Mike wang. I dread gold lobbies

Purple- it’s sweaty but most of the time the people I play with in the lobbies have IQ and so does the other team. As long as you make the right play you will be good. Most games feel like playoff games.

Red(hell)- I only played like 10 games in red before I lost it and I still haven’t got it back because I can’t make it past purple again. These lobbies are either straight cheaters (patched now) or game 7. No one misses in these lobbies and most games I lose in these lobbies both teams missed a combined total of like 8 shots and it all comes down to one or two plays that decide if you win the game or not. You literally have to be overly locked to not get blown out in these lobbies.
